As a puppet user, Pricillia has learned to never underestimate any sort of weapon as she knew that any weapon could prove to be the deadliest tool in the hands of the right user, used in a correct way and she also knew that a weapon could become far more dangerous with the right toxic applied on them and in order to use these toxics and poisons, Pricillia had to be able to prepare them and to do so, she had to find the right herbs and know how to prepare them. In order to be able to prepare the poisons, Pricillia had to have decent knowledge over all herbs there were in the world and reading some of Katherine's old notebooks could help her gain the knowledge she would need to some extend. Of course, illustrations were impossible in a simple notebook and Pricillia knew she had to be able to recognize the herbs, not only know what they did.

The Deus family had lots of friends throughout the world and of course, the land of snow was not an exception and Katherine knew that and thus, instructed Pricillia to a special botany garden in the snow village - a place where the plants were all protected from the cold and dense humidity of the snow village, each plant being able to grow normally. As Pricillia made her way there, she was instantly recognized and invited. The garden was public, so Pricillia didn't really have to interact with the owners as she simply entered through the gates of the roofed garden. Just as Pricillia would expect from Katherine, her hand writing was perfect and she could easily read it. This notebook seemed to be mainly concentrated on herbs that would grow throughout the forest region of the land of snow and that was the section Pricillia headed to.

Fortunately for Pricillia, both the garden owners and Katherine lined the herbs in an alphabetic order and it would be easier for her to find the herb she needed and learn it now that she didn't have to search for it. The first herb Pricillia read about was the Agrimony herb - a tiny herb used for healing. Pricillia looked carefully at the herb under the thermo-glass and made sure she memorized the way it looked like. After she was done reading the text about that herb in the notebook and looking it up, Pricillia moved on to the next herb which was the All-Heale herb - a herb with a rather interesting name which in fact partially explained what the herb could be used for. Moving onto the next herb, Pricillia would now be looking at a surprising tree, commonly knows for it fruits - the Apple Tree. Pricillia knew pretty much everything about the apple tree and it's usage - collecting its fruits who could be used as a pretty delicious food, naturally.

Reading the notebook, originally owned by her mentor, Katherine, Pricillia was now starting to get the hang of learning about herbs as she did. Continuing reading the herbs in an alphabetic order, Pricillia moved onto the next herb which would be the Asarabacca herb - a large herb found throughout the whole forest region of the land of wind and a herb that would grow through the spring season of the year. Together with reading the information inside the notebook, Pricillia also looked at the herb through the thermo-glass, memorizing the way the herb looked like. After she was done, naturally, she moved onto the next herb - which would be the Ash Tree - a large sized tree, usually found during the spring throughout the whole forest region, often used for curing poisons. Even thought she wasn't quite allowed to do so, Pricillia took a pencil out of her pocket and underlined the name of the herb in Katherine's textbook in order to study the herb further more later on because it was a herb that she could use against weak sorts of poisons. Pricillia also made sure she memorized the way the herb looked like because she knew it was a somewhat important herb.

Moving on to the next herb, Pricillia wound now be looking at and reading about the Athelas herb - a herb that was a tad bit stronger than the ash tree when it came to curing poison and was also a herb that Pricillia allowed herself to underline in Katherine's notebook. Reading further the information about the herb, Pricillia noticed that it could be used to cure quite rare and deadly poisons and also noticed that it was a quite hard herb to find due to it's size and the fact that it would only bloom during the autumn, of course, naturally. Even though it wasn't autumn, the thermo-glass provided the perfect conditions for the herb to grow and this allowed Pricillia to study its appearance and she made sure she remembered it carefully due to the sole reason she would most likely be needing a herb with such poison curing capabilities. Moving on to the next herb, Pricillia was now apparently over with the "A" section of the list of forest herbs as the herb she was now reading and looking at was the Balm herb - a small herb found during the summer season and a herb that Pricillia, as well as all women throughout the world could use - a herb that could be used to ease menstrual pains. Pricillia underlined the herb in the textbook lightly as she would most likely be looking for the said herb, trying to make use of it.

The next herb as the Bastit herb - a repellent that could repel even parasitic insects and a quite useful herb used in a right way, maybe even a lifesaver. Pricillia remembered how the herb looked like and instantly moved on to the next herb - the Belramba herb which would be a large herb found during the summer season, able to heal light nerve damage. As this was a healing herb and was actually a herb with combat-usage, Pricillia underlined it and remembered how it looked like before moving onto the next herb.

Moving on to the next herb, Pricillia made a step towards it and flipped a page of her notebook, viewing the information Katherine has left her. The next herb was the Berilik herb which was a very-very small herb that could only be found during the summer and that could be used as an anesthetic for light wounds. As that was a herb with healing capabilities, Pricillia of course underlined it in the notebook and took a decent look at it, memorizing it's appearance as she knew that at some point, she would most likely be searching for one herself. Moving on to the next herb, Pricillia would now be reading intel over the Bilberry Bush - a small and a quite hard to find herb found during the spring season throughout the forest regions and a quite dangerous herb as well which could kill for a day if prepared in an incorrect way - a thing Pricillia intended to do in order to use it to make her puppets far more dangerous. Pricillia underlined the name of the herb on Katherine's notebook, bolding the line a couple of times, knowing that that herb was something rather important and that she would most likely be using it a lot if she managed to find one.

Continuing reading through Katherine's notebook, Pricillia also moved onto the next herb which would again be the Bittermourn herb - a quite rare herb as well which Pricillia also underlined, figuring that she might use it in future. She also paid close attention to the way the herb looked like, memorizing all of it's features and it's appearance carefully. Continuing on, moving to the next herb, Pricillia would now be reading Katherine's notes over the Blackroot herb - an uncommon herb that would grow during the summer season used to heal light rooms. A herb such as that could have many practical uses. Thus, Pricillia paid close attention to the appearance of the herb and underlined it in her notebook. Continuing on to the next herb, Pricillia would now find herself on a page which Katherine herself has underlined back when she was learning about herbs and Pricillia figured that the herb she was going to be reading about now was a quite important one, and indeed it was. The Black Rose was a quite rare herb of a medium size found during the warm seasons of the year and known for it's great usage of extracting and curing strong poisons Pricillia looked at the plant which was growing under a thermo-glass - aside from it's uses, this herb appeared to be quite beautiful and elegant. 'I wonder how this will look in my hair...' Pricillia thought and giggled lightly.

Moving onto the next herb, Pricillia would now be reading about the Borage herb - a tiny sized herb found during the spring season, used t cure fevers, chills and influenza. Pricillia thought that a herb such as this could have practical uses and thus, underlined it in Katherine's notebook, remembering it's appearance. The next herb appeared to be the last herb of the "B" section of Katherine's notes as it was the Bulis herb - a commonly found small herb that would in some way improve bodily function. Katherine hasn't left many notes about that herb so Pricillia only had to figure that it's uses weren't as great as the other herbs'.

Pricillia liked reading a lot and reading through Katherine's notes over herbs was just as good as it would be for her to read any other book and she did it with pleasure. Being able to see the herbs herself and memorize the way the looked like made learning them way easier and now, Pricillia had to continue doing so. Moving on to the next herb, Pricillia would now be starting to read the information her mentor Katherine left her about the first herb of the "C" section - the Cat's Tail - a fairly common small herb found during the summer season of the year and would be a herb that was commonly used to heal injuries and traumas. Just like Pricillia would do with all herbs that had similar healing or dangerously damaging capabilities, she underlined the name of the herb. Pricillia also did as much as remembering the appearance of the herb, knowing that she would probably be searching for it at some point of her career. Moving on, Pricillia would now be reading and looking at another herb with healing capabilities - the Chervil herb would be a tiny sized herb that was rather hard to find but used in a right way, a sure life-saver. Pricillia memorized the way the herb looked like and as it would be expected of her, also underlined the name of the herb.

Continuing on, Pricillia moved onto the next herb which would be the Colewort herb which would be a small sized herb found during the warm seasons of the year, commonly used to sober people up after they have drank alcoholic cocktails or drinks. Pricillia knew that she would most likely never be searching for that herb as she was not into drinking, but she still took her time to memorize the appearance of the herb, as she could never know for sure when she would need it or at the very least, want to make some easy money by searching and selling it. Continuing on, Pricillia would now be reading about the Comucopia herb which would be a rare medium sized herb that could be found during the spring season of the year, producing fruits that when eaten can supply a person their needed supply of food and water for twenty-four hours with no drawbacks whatsoever. Continuing on, Pricillia moved onto the next herb which would be the Cow Parsnip herb - a medium sized herb found throughout the whole year, being able to cure medical disorders, such as pure insanity, for an example.

With the Cow Parsnip herb, Pricillia finished all the herbs there were for her to read from the "C" section and she would now be reading the first herb from the "D" section which would be the Darnell herb - a tiny sized quite hard to find herb, only found during the winter season of the year, commonly used to reduce the light capacity of one's eyes. Pricillia didn't find the herb at all interesting but still took her time to memorize the appearance of the herb, in case she ever needed to search for it. Moving on, Pricillia moved onto the next herb - the Dandelions, which would be a really small uncommon herb found only through the warm season of the year, commonly used to heal poison. For Pricillia, that would be a quite important herb as she knew that she would be using that herb in case accidents occurred with her puppets and their own poisonous weapons and this herb, in case of accidents such as that could prove to be an absolute life-saver. Pricillia memorized exactly how the herb looked like, looking at it through the thermo-glass. She also underlined the name of the herb in Katherine's notebook a couple of times, making a bold and solid line which couldn't be missed. 'This can prove to be quite useful...' Pricillia thought as she prepared to move onto the next herb.

Deciding to cease obtaining raw knowledge over herbs as she was doing for the time being, Pricillia was now about to make use of her family’s honorable name and to ask for some favors to be returned. The garden she currently was in was owned by long time friends of the Deus family and Pricillia would make use of that opportunity and ask to be shown how some of the herbs are actually harvested and prepared as some of the herbs were in full bloom and actually had to be harvested. Pricillia first asked for a meeting with the garden owner and after she was granted the meeting, she has also been granted a permission to enter a special room with one of the workers in the garden and to take notes over what they are doing with the herbs. Pricillia followed a woman, not much older than her to a room labeled “Authorized Personal Only”.

The garden worker didn’t waste any time at all but moved straight to the point. ”Are there any particular herbs you’d want to see how to collect and prepare?” The woman knew that most of the herbs didn’t have many practical uses for a shinobi and has obviously decided to help Pricillia finish her studies faster. The white haired girl nodded, opening the notebook that Katherine has given her. ”Yes, the first herb I would like to know how to collect and prepare is the Deadly-Nightshade.” The worker nodded and the two females headed to a different room that could only be accessed from the room they currently was in. ”We move all the developed herbs here, away from public access because they can be stolen and as you know, can prove to be quite dangerous in the wrong hands.” Pricillia nodded, knowing she had t o keep this information for herself. After a while of searching for the herb, the shop worker, Shaylene found a Deadly-Nightshade herb and called Pricillia closer. ”Look at what I am doing now.” The female told Pricillia and reached her hands forwards, reaching for the herb.

”This herb doesn’t need to be re-planted each year as the only part of use from it are it’s berries which re-grow every year once harvested.” With latex gloves around her hands, Shaylene gently and slowly detached a berry from the stem. She repeated this process a number of times, pulling all berries away from the plant’s body. ”Now, we will proceed with the preparation of the herb.” Returning to the first room with the Deadly-Nightshade berries, the two females proceeded to another off-access room labeled as “Lab”. There, the Shaylene quickly moved to business, putting the berries under a solidly-netted small cup and began pressing them with a wooden tool, crushing them, allowing all of the fruit’s juices to flow out of them through the net in a special bigger cup. ”Now, a week must be waited before this liquid can proceed through a series of special procedures, such as boiling and distillation of the hydrogen inside. After this has been done, the final juice will be good for any usage with the full properties of the Deadly nightshade herb. Any questions?” The female asked Pricillia.”No. No questions.”

”Okay, if you understood everything, let’s move on to the next herb you might be interested in, which is…?” Shaylene asked Pricillia, knowing that helping Pricillia with what she wanted to know would be the best thing she could’ve done. ”This Balm herb seemed quite intriguing when I read about it.” Pricillia said with a neutral temper in her voice. ”And I understand why.” Shaylene answered to Pricillia, knowing that the balm herb was a herb that could be used to ease menstrual pains. The biggest problem behind Pricillia’s studies was that she and Shaylene moved a lot between rooms but aside from that, the garden worker made everything simple and after they returned to the room where the herbs were, Shaylene showed Pricillia how to collect the balm herb which would be cutting the leaves carefully from the stems with scissors. ”The body of the plant doesn’t need to be damaged for you to obtain what you need from the herb – the leaves, which can re-grow with time.” Shaylene explained Pricillia who appeared to be taking notes. ”Also, normally, I would explain you how to prepare this herb, however, with this particular herb, this would be impossible.” Pricillia nodded as she knew why. The reason was that the Balm herb had to be boiled in water and then drank by a woman with menstrual pains while still warm, otherwise, the herb wouldn’t be quite as useful.

”We actually pack the leaves of the Balm herb and sell them to herb shops where anyone who needs them can buy them.” Pricillia nodded as she knew that Shaylene was now about to ask her which other herb she needed information about and not waiting for her to do so, Pricillia went on and said it right away. ”I would like to know more about the Spanish Nuts please.” Shaylene couldn’t help but laugh at what Pricillia said. At first, the white haired girl didn’t know why she was being laughed at, but then thought over what she said and a slight line of enraged embarrassment appeared on Pricillia’s face. ”I meant the herb!!” She said with an enraged tone in her voice which could have sounded cute to some people. ”Okay, okay! Hahaha, such a cute reaction. Okay, so basically, the Spanish Nut is a quite easily found and a quite expensive herb that you can find in practically every forest. It can be used for chakra enhancement. There really isn’t much one can do to prepare the nut as it can pretty easily be eaten raw.” Pricillia nodded and took notes. Basically, the seeds were edible and were the part of the herb that was consumed and used. The plant was fairly big so it couldn’t possibly fit in a room with the size of the room the two girls were at but Pricillia knew how it looked like from the illustration in Katherine’s notebook and would use that appearance when she wanted to find it.

If one thing Pricillia knew for sure, it was how to spend her time correctly and separate her tasks so she had enough tome to have enough time to accomplish all of her tasks and she knew that it was now about time for her to leave the garden and head home, pick up some scrolls and head out again to do a different sort of training.

"I will be heading home now." Pricillia told the garden worker and explained her that she might return some time soon. After she signed out at the reception, she walked out of the building and began her walk home through the village of snow.
